Junior 5 Enjoy Princethorpe's Maths Challenge

Hosted and organised by Princethorpe College, it’s an exciting maths competition for primary school aged children. Crackley Hall took two teams of two to compete alongside 52 pairs of enthusiastic and very talented mathematicians from 28 local schools. Our Junior 5 pupils took part in a series of puzzles against the clock. In five eight-minute rounds, the children tackled Tangrams, the 24 Game, Shape Arithmetic, Number Detectives and Matchstick Puzzles. Ably supported and marked by a team of Princethorpe’s Year 8 pupils, the competition stretched and challenged our pupils with mathematical activities that required both reasoning skills and mathematical knowledge. Well done to Remy, Hector, Beatrice and Sophie, who represented Crackley Hall with pride. Mrs Cowlishaw, who accompanied the teams, said, “The children had a great time and really enjoyed putting their maths skills to the test. There were some very talented mathematicians taking part and our pupils made Crackley Hall School proud.”
